The Nokia X30 5G is the company's most premium current offering, which is immediately evident by the inclusion of an OLED panel - the first on a Nokia phone since the 9 PureView from 2019. The screen is a 6.43-inch 1080x2400px panel with a 90Hz refresh rate and a 700 nit peak brightness. It's covered by Gorilla Glass Victus. Being an OLED, the display has accommodated a fingerprint scanner.
The phone features a metal frame, but it's
made out of 100% recycled aluminum, while the plastic rear panel uses 65%
recycled material. There are two cameras on the back of the Nokia X30 5G - a
50MP 1/1.56" sensor with a wide f/1.8 optically-stabilized lens, and a
13MP 1/3.06" ultrawide with an f/2.4 lens.
The pair of cameras also feature Gorillas
Glass protection of the DX+ variety. The selfie camera has a 16MP sensor and no
autofocus. The Nokia X30 5G is powered by a 6nm Snapdragon 695 5G chipset with
a choice of 6GB or 8GB of RAM, and 128GB (UFS 2.2) or 256GB (UFS 3.0) of
storage, expandable further through the microSDXC slot. Nokia's 3-3-3 promise
covers the X30 5G, meaning future owners will enjoy 3 years of OS updates and
security patches, and a 3-year warranty. That means the Nokia X30 5G is covered
at least until Android 15.
The phone relies on a 4,200mAh battery
with 33W charging. Nokia says the battery will keep its health for at least 800
cycles. In keeping with the recycled materials used in the body, the Nokia X30
5G comes in a smaller box that's made up of 94% recycled paper. Alongside the
phone, you will get a USB cable, but no charger, and no case. An interesting
tidbit is the IP67 rating for dust and water resistance. There's also an IR
blaster - neat!
The Nokia X30 5G is rolling out globally
starting today with a base price of € 530 (US$ 530/₹ 42,000). You will be able to
pick between Cloudy Blue or Ice White colorways.
